Basic Health Checkup

Blood count, cholesterol, and Vitamin D are among the most frequently measured health parameters. This panel bundles them into a single blood draw, offering a practical overview of haematological status, cardiovascular-related lipid values, and a nutritional marker that many men may be low in, especially during winter months.

• Men who want a basic health check without an extensive panel
• Those who have not had blood work done in a while and want a starting point
• Men who spend limited time outdoors or live in northern climates and want to check their Vitamin D status
• Those interested in tracking lipid values alongside general blood health

• Complete Blood Count (CBC): red blood cells, white blood cells, haemoglobin, haematocrit, and platelets. Provides an overview of blood cell production and oxygen-carrying capacity.
• HDL Cholesterol (mmol/l): often referred to as "good" cholesterol; associated with cardiovascular health.
• LDL Cholesterol (mmol/l): often referred to as "bad" cholesterol; elevated levels may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
• Triglycerides (mmol/l): a type of fat in the blood; levels can be influenced by diet, activity, and metabolic factors.
• Vitamin D 25-OH (nmol/l): the primary circulating form of Vitamin D, involved in bone health, immune function, and other processes.

The blood count may reveal information about anaemia, infection markers, or platelet levels. Lipid values can offer context for cardiovascular risk assessment when reviewed alongside lifestyle factors. Vitamin D status may be relevant for bone health, immune function, and general wellbeing. Together, these markers provide a practical baseline that can inform future health decisions.

A blood sample is drawn at a certified sample point (afnamepunt). There are over 750 locations across the Netherlands. After placing your order, you can select a location and time that works for you. The appointment typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes.

This panel may be useful as a routine health check, as a first step into blood testing, or when you want to monitor a few core parameters without committing to a larger panel. It can also be relevant for men who want to track Vitamin D levels seasonally.

Results are presented with reference ranges for each marker. Values outside these ranges may be worth discussing with a healthcare provider, who can interpret them in the context of your lifestyle, diet, and medical history. A single out-of-range value does not necessarily indicate a problem.

Fasting for 8 to 12 hours is required for accurate lipid results. Water is permitted during the fasting period.

Your results are typically available within a few business days in your personal dashboard. The report includes measured values alongside reference ranges. If you have questions about any values, consider reviewing them with a healthcare provider.
